My wee lil mac mini hidden away in the cable tray of my desk. it is a joy to use, everything is so snappy and it is very power efficient. It is my main day to day computer and I use for media consumption, programming, and web browsing. I want to upgrade its internal storage in the future so I can use it as a media server too.
